Le piante ornamentali nei contesti funerari: evidenze epigrafiche e archeobotaniche

Federica Maria Riso

Abstract


The research aimed to combine the epigraphic and archaeobotanical strategies, to identify and
interpret the funerary rituals that involved ornamental plants, or testify their presence. Both the inscriptions
of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum of the regio VIII, which attested to these funerary
practices and the carpological finds of a case study, the necropolis of Novi Sad in Modena, which
returned important evidence of ritual banquets and ornamental plants, have been merged in the
same interpretative system.

Keywords: regio VIII, Mutina, archaeobotany, plants, necropolis.
